Midinfrared photoluminescence of InAsSb quantum dots grown by liquid phase epitaxy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photoluminescence in the 2–5 mm spectral region is reported from InAs12xSbx quantum dots grown from the liquid phase at 580 °C on an InAs ~100! substrate. Atomic force microscopy shows that coalesced quantum dots and then isolated quantum dots are formed with increasing Sb composition (x50.2– 0.3) and strain. The 4 K photoluminescence of the isolated and coalesced quantum dots was observed to peak in the midinfrared at 289 and 316 meV, ~4.29 and 3.92 mm!, respectively. These peaks are due to type II transitions and begin to quench at temperatures above 100 K as holes become thermally activated out of the quantum dot confinement potential. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~00!04248-0#

Photoluminescence and bowing parameters of InAsSb/ InAs multiple quantum wells grown by molecular beam epitaxy
Detailed studies are reported on the photoluminescence of InAsSb/ InAs multiple quantum wells grown by molecular beam epitaxy on InAs substrates with the Sb mole fraction ranging from 0.06 to 0.13. From 4 K photoluminescence the band alignment was determined to be staggered type II. By comparing the emission peak energies with a transition energy calculation it was found that both the conductio...
متن کاملInfrared Emitters and photodetectors with InAsSb bulk active region
Bulk unrelaxed InAsSb alloys with Sb compositions up to 44% and layer thicknesses up to 3 um were grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The alloys showed photoluminescence (PL) energies as low as 0.12 eV at T=13K. The electroluminescence and quantum efficiency data demonstrated with unoptimized barrier heterostructures at T=80 and 150K suggested large absorption coefficient and carrier lifetimes suf...

This paper presents a study on the effect of matrix material on the morphology and optical properties of self-assembled InP-based InAsSb nanostructures. Due to the differences in surface roughness of the growth front, In0.53Ga0.47As matrix layer induces the formation of short quantum dashes QDashes and elongated quantum dots, while InP and In0.52Al0.48As matrix layers promote the formation of l...

Self-assembled quantum dots of InAs have been grown on InP substrates by metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy. The effect of the growth temperature and the growth rate on the morphology and the optical properties of the quantum dots is studied using atomic force microscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The spectral shape of the low temperature photoluminescence depends strongly on the growt...
